Gee... David

I have to admit that I have no inherent reason for preferring Firefox over IE7. The fact is that I prefer the former because of the way it loads new tabs. Simple. I ask for a tab and I get one instantly. Not so with IE7. Microsoft wizards have done it again with a ridiculous routine that has to load a page that tells me it is blank. Gee, and I would never have known otherwise! It isn't this that annoys me, though. It is the fact that I have to WAIT while a blank page is loaded. How ridiculous is that? So, I use Firefox as my default browser and make adjustments in IE by having a half dozen blank pages open as members of my start up set.
